BNSF detouring on the UP Chester Subdivision
UP MPIEW 17 heads south through Cahokia at Jerome Lane
A light engine move from Valley Jct. heads towards Dupo, check out the last loco, Ex BC Rail SD40-2. Train was YDU41 26.
Power from grain train GDEVS7 06 heads south toward Dupo, IL
After setting out and getting a fresh crew at Dupo, KMQYC 05 continues north. Looks as if someone left a handbrake on.

Maybe UP should stop worrying about patching their conquests and focus on their own units: A shieldless UP 7132 brings up the rear of this northbound empty coal drag.
